Welcome to Call of the Wool, where the Shetlands live out their natural lives in health and happiness. Here at Call of the Wool we are dedicated to the well being of our sheep.
Nestled in the hills of North-Eastern Oregon we breed and raise registered purebred Shetland sheep. Our selective breeding program is designed to accentuate the special and unique qualities of the Shetland sheep. Shetlands come in eleven natural colors and over 30 pattern variations. We strive to preserve the variety of natural colors and fleece types found in the Shetland breed. We specialize in several rare color patterns, which have almost been lost in the Shetland breed. Shetlands are hardy little sheep with lusciously soft fleeces and outstanding fleece length and luster. Shetlands are small in stature, easy to handle and perfect for families. They are sweet and friendly, coming up for attention and wiggling their tails in response to attention.
By buying a CSA share you will become a part of our farm family. You will help to provide healthy living for our sheep. Your purchase goes directly to paying for feed, shelter, and all the small and large niceties, which come with farming. You will also help to provide food and shelter for sheep who can no longer support themselves due to old age or health difficulties. In many farm situations, sheep such as these would be culled from the flock, and sent to auction, as having lived their 'useful' lives. However, here at Call of the Wool, our sheep are part of our family and live as such. Each sheep has a name and special place in our hearts. We provide 'predator friendly' protection for our sheep in the form of guard llamas. We do not use herding dogs to bring in the sheep at night, but simply call to them from the top of the field and they come running. Our sheep ask for, and receive, daily affection and are often known to wiggle their tails in response to chin caresses and scratching.
